Just this afternoon, I drove the 86 Targa with the AC running from Phoenix at 1,000 ft up I-17 and SR 69 to Prescott, elevation 5,500. Ambient temp in Phoenix was low 90's, and I was doing between 70 and 85 up the mountain inclines. Temperature never exceeded the mid point of the gauge, or about 220. If you're experiencing higher temps than that without pulling mountains or running the AC, it seems to me that all is not quite right. I would check the entire cooling system including the thermostats. If the oil coolers and thermostats check out okay, I would stick my boroscope in the openings in the cooling shroud and make sure there isn't a rats nest in there!
